Hi all, I have a script to edit a number of binary files. The sequence I'm using is edic -c, update, edit (I use read-only checkouts). This sequence seems to be necessary, because 1- the first edit -c reserves the files 2- the update then makes sure they are up to date (if I ran the update before the edit -c there is a small window of opportunity for a commit by someone else between the update and the then following edit -c) 3- the final edit makes sure no files are read-only. Do I see this correctly, or am I missing something? Specifically, Tortoise uses a simpler sequence (update, edit -c). Is this sequence safe? Thanks, Gerhard
